New Caspio Bridge 6.8 Now Includes Charts

In our continued effort to provide more ways to visually present data on the web, Caspio’s new charts feature opens up powerful capabilities to translate your flat data into exciting visual reports and dashboards. Charts and graphs are often the key difference between a sea of meaningless rows and instant crystal-clear data intelligence.

Similar to all other web applications built with Caspio, charts can easily be created without programming using point-and-click wizards, and you can instantly embed the apps on any website, CMS or mobile site. All you need is a Caspio Bridge account and at least one numeric field in your data source, and you’ll be building dynamic data charts in a matter of minutes!

Utilizing these features built on Caspio’s online database, non-programmers can easily create powerful apps with up-to-the-minute reporting and business intelligence, allowing them to make better decisions faster, anytime, from any device.

Caspio’s unique “embedded” application deployment lets you seamlessly combine several app interfaces on the same web page to provide richer overall functionality. A common design is a high-level summary chart at the top of the page, along with an interactive web form displayed below to let the user further filter the data.

Along the same lines, you can quickly create a dynamic dashboard application by combining two or more charts on the same web page, driven from the same data source or multiple databases.

All Caspio users automatically receive the upgrade for charts in their Caspio Bridge account (or you can open a new account). Be sure to try it out and tell us what you think by contacting Caspio Support via chat, phone or support ticket. We will be adding more chart features and customization options in the coming months, so your feedback is essential.
